"Why would I be hiding something?" She asked simply, blinking her eyes, the sadness gone. She looked at the fish in the water and watched them jump down the waterfall every 5 minutes. "How are we supposed to get them?" She asked, then looked at her knife. She held it up and looked at the pond that ended with the rushing waterfall. If she tried to go get the fish she might slip on the rocks and get washed down the over probably 100 feet waterfall. But what was worse was if she didn't get the fish she would get a big punishment from her so called dad. She stood there in wonder, how was she supposed to do this exactly.
"Nice." She said as Azmoreth went on his shoulder, she wasn't really paying attention though. Her eyes looke d at each fish. If she could just stab it and bring it out then..but it was to dangerous wasn't it? Her eyes scanned her enviorment and they landed on Dom's bow and arrows. Maybe this would work. She walked over to it and randomly tuched the wood, the put her fingers on the string. "Can I borrow this?" She asked. Wait, what am I doing asking? I can just snatch it! He wouldn't do anything! She thought and then her hands went to take the bow and arrow. She would do anything to get the stupid fish, she didn't want to die!!!

Dom shook his head a little and half rolled his eyes as he listened to her speak, Why would I be hiding something? He chuckled a little as Azmoreth leapt off his shoulders and landed in a nearby tree and settled down on the branch, from here she could see farther back along the canyon. “So that you could keep up the appearance of strength and keep people from calling you weak, which you are far from, trust me, I’ve had practice with people keeping things from me.” He told her just as simply as she had spoken to him as he stepped up beside her, watching the fish. How are we supposed to get them? Dom watched her gauging their surroundings and her knife and rolled his eyes a little again. He watched her as her eyes travelled over everything around them before they settled on his bow and arrows and he smirked, well, that didn’t take long he watched as her fingers danced over the wood and then the string, Can I borrow this? Dom smiled and answered, “Go ahead. It’s gonna be your easiest mode of achievement for now.” He said just as her hand shot out to grab the bow. Dom chuckled to himself a moment.
“How many and how large does your father want the fish to be?” Dom asked as he dropped down at the edge of the pool and looked toward Mia. Perhaps he could be of some help to her as they hung out in the canyon, working on finishing the task set before them. You are very good at catching deception Mine. Congratulations. A smirk claimed his lips momentarily as he answered Azzy, Thanks Azmoreth. I have had plenty of time to perfect it. Her gentle lilting laughter in his head made him glance into the tree and wink at her a moment, illiciting another soft lilting laugh in his mind. His dragoness was as big a flirt as he was, it was kind of refreshing. Dom returned some of his attention back to Mia then.

"So that you could keep up the appearance of strength and keep people from calling you weak, which you are far from, trust me, I’ve had practice with people keeping things from me.” He had said, she tried to ignore it. After she had grabbed the bow and arrow she looked at it and licked her dry lips. She would have to concentrate for this, she had never tried archery before, so this would probably be rather hard. First how to hold it in the right position. She put her hand on the wooden area, first in the middle before going a little down so her hand wouldn't be in the arrows way. She then got an arrow and put held put the pointed end to the string and stretched it back. She aimed at one of the fish and waited for a good moment before letting it fly at it. Miss. She growled, it had been an inch away, literally. She had to have better aim if she was going to do this. She looked at him, him asking about how big the fish had to be proccesing in her head finally. She had been into concentrating and not realized he had spoke.
"Oh....uh...somewhat big." She said. "Weigh about....2-3 pounds..." Then she went back to concentrating.

Dominic looked at her as she struggled with the bow and arrow. He watched her fail on hitting the first one. Then shaking his head a little he got to his feet and stepped up behind her as she spoke, Oh....uh...somewhat big. Weigh about....2-3 pounds... Then he put his hands on his bow and then spoke softly to her, “Let me help Mia. Here, put this hand down here…” he moved his hand onto hers and then moved it down a half inch from where she had placed it before then he continued, “…and put this one here.” He told her as he placed his hand over hers on the string. “When you notch your arrow, make sure the single fin is pointed upward, the arrow will be true to its target. Give it a try.” Then he stepped back away from her and dropped back beside the pool scanning below the surface for a good fish. When his eyes fell upon one, he let his hand fall softly into the water and his fingers hung limp as he waited for the fish to become accustomed to his surroundings, when the fish was sufficiently relaxed, Dom closed his fingers around it and threw it flopping to the ground behind him as his eyes traveled to Mia again as he settled back again and waited.

When Dom went over to help her she barely was able to keep a yell in, let alone a flinch when he touched her. When he left again she shot again, this time pinning a fish in the water by it's tail, flopping around trying to get away. She smiled, but didn't want to move her position and retrieve it in fear she would have to get help once again on how to position in it. She looked at the fish and then a purple flash was there and the fish was gone. She blinked then smirked, Lissyth...
I got it M'aMine, aren't you proud of me? Lissyth said to her as she landed a few feet away from her right, away from Dominic, Mia stayed quiet. But still...the poor fish.... Your Dad.... You still haven't told me what he's like, when will you tell me M'aMine? I'm getting worried, the way you act when you talk about him.... Does he do anything bad to you?
"No...Lissyth...." She murmured outloud, but a big lie.
M'aMine.... I can feel your sadness.... Your anger.... What does he do?
"Nothing Lissyth..." She said, shooting another fish she hit it right in the stomach.
Lissyth got that fish to, coming back and putting it with the first fish. But M'aMine, you can't hide from us forever, you gotta tell someone-
"I SAID NO LISSYTH!!" She yelled at her.
Lissyth looked at her, then tears streamed down her face. I...was just worried... She then flew off, crying her eyes out.
Mia watched her fly away, trying to harden her eyes and act like it was nothing she showed much sadness instead. She didn't mean to...she just...
"Ugh.." She groaned, getting another arrow she shot a fish a little above the eye. "That's three.." She murmured, trying to get Lissyth out of her head. She looked at the fish in the water and shook her head.

Dom realized he had spooked her a little with his touch but she hadn’t really let it out. The fish he had caught had just about stopped moving and he picked it up tossing it into the tree behind him, Azzy snatched it almost as fast as it had come past her nose. Dom smiled and watched as Mia succeeded in getting the first fish with the arrow. Dom watched then as a beautiful Purple dragon grabbed the fish from the water so that Mia needed not move from her position. Dom listened as she answered the dragon or at least he thought she was answering it.
No...Lissyth...nothing Lissyth...I SAID NO LISSYTH!! Ugh…that's three… Dom watched as she arrowed a second one in the stomach and the dragon retrieved it as well, then he watched as she shot a third, spearing it through the scales just above the eye, Dom watched as the Purple dragon was snapped at and vanished into the air crying after retrieving the second fish. Dom stared at Mia a moment then spoke mentally to Azmoreth, Azzy, can you… he didn’t have to finish the phrase as an affirmative roar echoed down to him as Azmoreth shot after the Purple to make sure it was all right.
“That wasn’t very nice of you Mia. Lissyth was just trying to help her rider out. How many more fish do you need to get for your father, and I think you owe her an apology as well, she was just doing what she was supposed to do.” Then Dom fell silent shaking his head a little as he got to his feet and moved somewhat away from Mia. He didn’t know how much longer he could handle this young woman, but he was determined to stick it out a little bit longer, he was determined to find out what she was hiding from them all. Azzy? How’re things on your end? How is Lissyth?
It wasn’t long before a response came back to him, I’m not quite caught up with her yet Mine so I can’t give you an answer yet. When I catch her and we get a chance to talk I’ll tell you. Dom dipped his head a little as he moved back toward Mia. Thank you Azmoreth. Sighing, Dom crossed his arms over his chest and stared hard at Mia as he waited for her to tear into him, because he had a feeling she would, but he was ready for it.

“That wasn’t very nice of you Mia. Lissyth was just trying to help her rider out. How many more fish do you need to get for your father, and I think you owe her an apology as well, she was just doing what she was supposed to do.”
Mia gritted her teeth, anger welling up inside her. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?!" She yelled at him. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!! MAYBE I'M JUST NOT A NICE PERSON! I KNOW SHE WAS TRYING TO HELP, I'M NOT AN IDIOT ALTHOUGH YOU MIGHT THINK I AM!!" She said, shaking violently. She looked down at the ground and closed her eyes. "I didn't mean to hurt her...she was just bugging me...She wants to know about my Dad like you do, but I just can't say..." She looked up at the sky.
Lissyth...come back.... She said, trying to get Lissyth back, she looked back at Dom.
"He wants two more..." She growled. She raised the bow and arrow back up and tried to aim but was shaking to much, and missed the fish by two feet. She cursed under her breath. "He's probably mad at me....doesn't even know I have Lissyth.... I've already hurt her feelings...What will he do?" She asked herself, although barely hearable.
~~~
Lissyth landed, she was at least a mile away from Mia by now. She sniffed and curled herself up in a ball, covering herself with her wings. She just wanted to help Mia, she didn't mean to make her mad. Now Hers was upset with her. She was such a terrible dragon! Her sniffles and whimpers could be heard...

She did exactly what he had expected she would do, Dom listened as she shot off in a rage, WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!! MAYBE I'M JUST NOT A NICE PERSON! I KNOW SHE WAS TRYING TO HELP, I'M NOT AN IDIOT ALTHOUGH YOU MIGHT THINK I AM!! Dominic saw her look down at the ground and saw her shaking as she spoke again, this time less violently, I didn't mean to hurt her...she was just bugging me...She wants to know about my Dad like you do, but I just can't say... he watched her as she looked up at the sky.
It wouldn’t surprise him if she was willing her Dragoness to come back to them. He looked to her and uncrossed his arms as she spoke again, He wants two more...he's probably mad at me...doesn't even know I have Lissyth...I've already hurt her feelings...what will he do? Dom shook his head a little as he watched her try to shoot the fish again but was missing because she was so shaky. Then he spoke to her his voice gentle, despite the early lashing he’d gotten from her, “Let me get the last two for you Mia, you sit and relax.”
Then Dom approached the pool again, his dark lashed deep blue eyes scanning under the surface as he spoke to Azmoreth, Azzy? He smiled as he heard her voice, I’m landing beside her now Mine, give me a few moments. Dom smiled as he returned his attention to the pool and the fish, occasionally shooting a glance back in Mia’s direction, then he spoke to her, “I know enough Mia, and I don’t think you are an idiot, I know you’re far from it.” Then he grabbed another fish and tossed it on the pile.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Purple dragoness had been very fast, true she had had a longer headstart on the little Pastel Green dragoness, but it didn’t take Azmoreth long to catch up with her. She saw the Purple curled up and whimpering, hiding beneath her wings. Do not be alarmed Lissyth. My name is Azmoreth, bondmate to D’minic. Your Rider M’a, she knows you were trying to help, but she is having some troubles at the moment. Mine wishes to know what is happening with Yours and her father as well. Perhaps the three of us can get it out of her? Azmoreth said as she landed lightly beside the Purple and gently touched her with her nose and waited. We are all worried about you Lissyth. Azzy murmured softly in the mind of the Purple as she continued to wait.

Mia gave him the bow and arrow and sat down. She looked at the ground, eyes watering. Lissyth wasn't coming back yet. She hadn't even had her for a day and she already ran her off. Her only friend was gone. How worse was this going to get? She closed her eyes in frustration, tears coming to her eyes. She didn't mean to...
“I know enough Mia, and I don’t think you are an idiot, I know you’re far from it.”
She looked up at him, eyes still watering. She blinked, but the tears stayed this time. "H-huh?" She was so used to Anthony telling her she didn't know anything...but Dominic told her she was smart. She had trouble swallowing.. "If I tell you he'll....just...kill me...I said I'd never tell anyone...." She closed her eyes as a tear actually slid down her cheek. "I know...I must look weak right now....I shouldn't be crying...." She said, shaking but out of sadness this time. "I just...." She breathed deeply, trying to calm down. Her emotions were kicking in now... now of all times.
~~~
Lissyth unfolded her wings and looked at Azmoreth. Oh! Hi. yeah. OI shouldn't have pushed her though...I'm just worried....the way she acts when talking about her father...I'm thinking he's doing something bad.... I just wish I knew what. Maybe if I knew I could help her get away, I could help her get free.... We would both be together forever, we would chase our dreams.... Oh I'm daydreaming again, I'm sure it's a lot harder then it sounds.... Hmm.... She looked at Azmoreth. Yeah! Lets go back! We can maybe get her to talk..hopefully...

Dow took the bow and arrows from Mia and watched as she sat down. He saw the tears as he waited to snag another fish. Dom looked up and met her eyes as she spoke, the tears were staying this time, H-huh? If I tell you he'll...just...kill me...I said I'd never tell anyone...I know...I must look weak right now...I shouldn't be crying... I just... Dom snagged the last fish and tossed it on the pile, then grabbing some leaves he wrapped them up and tied them with a vine and then walked toward Mia and dropped to the dusty ground beside her.
Instinctively he draped an arm over her shoulders, like he always did with Devyn when she was upset and then spoke, “Who says he needs to know? I won’t tell anyone, nor will Azzy or Lissyth. And crying is not a sign of weakness, Mia, tears are a sign of strength, strong people are the ones that can shed tears and not feel the weaker for it.” Then he fell silent and felt a touch in his mind and then Azmoreth’s voice bubbled excitedly in his head, We’re half way back Mine, Lissyth and I decided to try and draw the truth out of Hers. Dom smiled softly.
Then he responded, This is good news Azmoreth. I am, as we speak attempting to get Mia to talk about it. See you both when you get here. Hurry up Azzy. Then he turned to Mia again, “I would like to know the truth Mia, please, I can’t very well help if I do not know. Lissyth and Azmoreth are already halfway back to us. They wish to learn the truth too.” He murmured softly as he gently rubbed her shoulder as he turned his dark lashed, deep blue eyes toward her and waited for a response from her.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Azmoreth moved just a little as Lissyth unfurled her wings and spoke to her and Azmoreth smiled, Oh! Hi. Yeah. I shouldn't have pushed her though...I'm just worried....the way she acts when talking about her father...I'm thinking he's doing something bad...I just wish I knew what. Maybe if I knew I could help her get away, I could help her get free...we would both be together forever, we would chase our dreams...oh I'm daydreaming again, I'm sure it's a lot harder than it sounds...Hmm...Yeah! Let’s go back! We can maybe get her to talk…hopefully… Azmoreth roared happily. Then let’s not dawdle! C’mon Lissyth, Mine is attempting to get Yours to spill! And with that, Azmoreth leapt into the air and snapped her wings open as the pair shot back toward their Companions.

Mia looked at him as he put a gentle and friendly arm over her shoulder. She sniffed and then looked at the ground, still crying. She saw a shadow and saw Lissyth land. Lissyth went over to Mia and nuzzled her cheek.
It's quite okay M'aMine, please don't be upset. If it's okay will you please tell me what happens with you and your father?
She looked at her and nodded, she was tired of holding things in to tell the truth. Tired of it all. She took deep breaths as she tried to calm down then looked at them all, they was all looking at her curiously. She swallowed hard and than began.
"Dad...isn't my real dad, although I'm supposed to say he is. I learned he wasn't my dad awhile ago, because I heard he was just kidnapping children hoping to get a purple...and if they didn't he would kill them. That's when he got his hands on me, all I remember is screaming, I think he hurt my real parents....He took me and got a woman to raise me until I was old enough to listen and understand him, then he fired the woman. He locked me up in the basement...he never let me go outside and make friends, I was always alone...I only had a window to look outside, I sometimes dreamed of going to the outside world, but knew I never could...until this year, when he made me a candidate, and I was able to live in my own place. I still had to come see him a lot though, and do as he said... I don't know why he waited so long to make me a candidate..."
"but he was lucky enough he got the right child...cause...I got Lissyth....the purple dragon...He doesn't know yet, and I'm scared of what will happen when I tell him about Lissyth.... I'm sure he'll brag...but....would he try to take Lissyth away from me? Or maybe try to teach her something bad? I don't know.....I can only imagine...and my imagniation scares me sometimes, because I love Lissyth and don't want anything to happen to her, she's the best thing that has ever happened to me...and I don't wanna lose something that I care so much about...the only thing I've cared about in so many damn years....I don't wanna go back to him.... I really don't....but it's like he has me chained....and I can't get away.....No matter where I go he will end up finding me....that's why I go to him even if I don't want to, so he doesn't hurt me when he finds me....yes, he sometimes abused me when I didn't mind him....that's one reason why I flinched when you touched me Dom...." She said. "There... happy?"

Dom held her gaze a moment but as she looked down he smiled as the Purple dragoness landed and then Azmoreth landed in his lap and stretched out smiling as she nuzzled Hers and then turned her bright blue eyes to Mia and rested her head on Dom’s knee as they listened to Mia spill, Dad...isn't my real dad, although I'm supposed to say he is. I learned he wasn't my dad a while ago, because I heard he was just kidnapping children hoping to get a purple...and if they didn't he would kill them.

Dom moved to wrap her in a hug.
“Everything makes sense now. I do not take kindly to that type of life…” Nor do I Mia and I don’t think Lissyth does either. We will help you get away or make it better for yourself. Azmoreth told her, without feeling the slightest bit odd for speaking intimately to another Rider as she did with Dom. Then Dom smiled and looked to Mia, “If you wish our help that is Mia. Do you need to attain any other resources from the canyon for him?” He asked setting the fish near to her and looking to her.

“Everything makes sense now. I do not take kindly to that type of life…” She looked at him. "I don't like it either...I don't think anybody would....No...I hate it....It's just not fair..." Nor do I Mia and I don’t think Lissyth does either. We will help you get away or make it better for yourself. Blinking she looked at Azmoreth. The dragon was talking to her? "You're wasting your breath talking to me huh?" She asked looking at Azmoreth. "It takes less energy to stay quiet then to get in my worthless mind and talk to me..." She said, pulling her knees together and burying her face into them.
Oh M'aMine, don't be like that! You're not worthless, trust me you're worth everything, especially to me. If you were not at the hatching, why I might have gone inbetween without knowing we was meant for such wonderful things! We can do so much if we work together! Like when I get bigger we can both touch the clouds up in the sky! I bet it's so soft and cottony... She crooned. Yes, but first I would love to help you get through your life probelms Mine, I will always be there for you and I will help you get through everything I can....I will never leave your side, I promise. We'll be together to the end.
Mia nodded, and said no to Dom as he asked if she wanted to get anything else.

Dom looked to Mia as she spoke, I don't like it either...I don't think anybody would...no...I hate it...it's just not fair... Then he watched as she looked to Azmoreth as the pastel green dragoness spoke to her and for a brief moment Dominic bristled a little as she spoke in answer to Azzy, You're wasting your breath talking to me huh? It takes less energy to stay quiet then to get in my worthless mind and talk to me... then he watched as she pulled her knees together and buried her face in them. For a brief instant he saw Azzy’s eyes flare flame red in anger but as fast as it had appeared it vanished again and then he heard her answer no to the question of whether or not she needed anything else from the canyon.
Smiling he heard Azzy speak again, I know it does but I do not care. I will speak with whomever I want, whenever I want Mia. Then she locked her gaze on Mia a moment before looking back at Dom and then sitting proudly beside him. “Then we should probably get moving out of here hmm? So you can get back to him before he gets too much more mad at you?” Dom said and then looked to her and then waited a moment before getting to his feet and stretching a little as Azmoreth leapt up to the tree and positioned herself to take off on aerial guard duty once more. Then he picked up the bundle of fish and waited as he looked to her.
